whitepaper Business Integration Technology Case Study: Novus International2008-04-25 Business Integration Technology
  Based on decades of research and development at Monsanto, Novus International, Inc. was formed in 1991 and employs over 350 people in more than 20 countries. New business initiatives resulted in dramatic increases in the volume of sales orders and shipments in Novus' European operations. Although most of the 13 warehouses and 16 transporters wanted to communicate with Novus electronically, many did not have the required infrastructure. A change like this would require effort on their part to implement an integration solution. Novus hired Business Integration Technology to assist in the design, development and implementation of an integration solution for their Novus Europe team. Business Integration Technology implemented the Novus solution using an open source, standards-based architecture.

whitepaper UAE's Leading Construction Company Migrates to Red Hat Enterprise Linux2007-01-01 Red Hat
  Problems with this email process quickly became evident as the construction company encountered poor performance, increased costs from unnecessary bandwidth use, reliability and speed issues, and security concerns over the possible exposure of sensitive data. With these issues in mind and the desire to be able to maintain the systems inhouse, the IT department decided to perform a review to establish potential alternatives. After performing an initial assessment to ensure that the migration would not affect the existing production IT systems, eComputers installed a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux to handle Arabtec's mail system. Red Hat Enterprise Linux currently runs on the email server in Arabtec's head office, as well as the DNS, proxy, and firewall servers in the company's remote sites.

whitepaper Virtuozzo Reigns in Server Management and Delivers Unmatched Performance2006-07-17 SWsoft
  arvato mobile had been using an open source virtualization solution and was sufficiently satisfied until the number of servers grew and application availability became critical. The company needed to evaluate and control resource use inside their virtual environments. They also needed centralized control; with hundreds of servers it's really great to have a single solid solution like the Virtuozzo Management Console and not some home made collection of scripts. Other administrative capabilities such as the integrated backup utility, the migration of virtual servers in seconds and the real-time resource management capabilities became important tools for arvato mobile. Virtuozzo's ability to backup its virtualized servers across the entire server cluster and restore them on any node is just fantastic.
